More Than A Business Deal Chapter 50
His hands were slipping away but I forced them back around my waist and snuggled deeper into his arms. I was taking what I wanted by force and although my husband was a cold-hearted bastard, he still won’t hurt me for unknown reasons. “You don’t have to sleep in here. You have a room in perfect condition for that” He grumbled but made no move to unwrap himself from around me. After last night's argument, I was too tired to walk back to my room. Apparently, being emotionally drained while being also physically drained was a thing. And since I was in a pissy mood, I flopped on his bed and declared I was moving in since his room was far more comfortable than mine was. ‘I do. I already explained it to you last night and I am not doing it again so you better zip it so I can get more sleep. We have a long day ahead of us” I mumbled against his chest sleepily. It was so comfortable right here. Even though I slept soundly through the night, I was still so sleepy. His unwilling arms arou

“Can you help me with this?” I turned my back to Atticus so he could help me zip up my dress. We were getting dressed for the dinner. It was a private dinner that some important guests were attending and I still had no idea how Atticus mistook it for a gala. I shivered involuntarily as his hands brushed my naked back when he wanted to adjust the dress so he could zip it. “Thank you” I told him after he was done. He had buttoned his shirt halfway so I turned so I could help him button it all the way. When I was done buttoning the shirt, I plucked the suit jacket from the bed and gestured for him to turn around so I could put it on for him. “I can put that on by myself” he insisted but I wasn’t listening. I forcefully turned him around and helped him put it on. “I’ve seen it in movies so I want to also do it too” I told him when I was done. I used my palms to straighten the suit even though there wasn’t a wrinkle in sight. “Here you can do your tie yourself, I’m terrible at th

The anger that poured through my veins was hot and boiling and it felt like lava from an active volcano as it burned through my entire being. I started to put the pieces together now aware of why he had tensed up when I said I wouldn’t know anyone here. He was aware that she would be here and I couldn’t help but also wonder if that is why he was being so sweet to me all day. He was trying to appease me in advance because he knew I would be upset when I finally saw her here today. I know I had no control over where she went and I could not tell her not to attend the dinner but it would have been nice to get a heads-up so I could be prepared for the emotional trauma I was going through right now. Okay, maybe I am being a little over dramatic but I had the right to be and besides overreacting seems just right at this moment. I would have ignored her and pushed my anger down if I had not caught sight of the diamond necklace sitting pretty on her neck. I mean I would not have been ang

“You should get some sleep and not stare at me like that” Atticus scolded me from where he was standing by the window trying to put on his watch. He was on his way to work but it was too early and I was in no mood to stand up to have breakfast with him or rather I had no energy to stand up. Ever since we started staying together in this room, Atticus fucked me every single night or rather on most nights which left me reasonably sore but I wasn’t complaining. I wonder why he always had so much energy especially if he was always working. “I am sleeping just with my eyes open” A loud yawn escaped between my lips and I stretched involuntarily and felt my joints crack as I moved. I know I had to get up soon because the gallery was almost done so I was really busy but I wanted to rest a little bit. “Are you going to the gallery later?” he asked me while I stretched again. We were just a few weeks into opening so I had been going there every day to check on things by myself. I didn’t wan

The feeling that I am being watched is now with me constantly and it made me feel like I was going crazy. It’s been one week since the first incident and now I feel like that all the time and it was frustrating because I never see whoever I thought was watching me. I was on my way out of the gallery when I finally saw someone. He wasn’t dressed like they do in those cliche movies where they were dressed in all black and also wearing a suspicious ball cap. This man whose eyes I met was not a man but rather a young adult who would be around the same age as me. He was startled to have been caught and he quickly darted his eyes away and pulled out his phone from his pocket to make it seem like he wasn't watching me but it was too late. I had seen him already. Quickly, I tugged on Nathan’s shirt in a hurry to get his attention before he could walk away from me. “What is it?” He asked worriedly when he saw the panicked look on my face. ‘There’s someone across the street watching me.

I hadn’t seen Danielle in so long and the opening of my art gallery is in twelve days time. I was free today and had nothing serious to do so I decided to pay her a visit and I am glad I did. I didn’t call her to let her know that I was coming and she was so happy to see me. Luckily for me, she also didn’t have plans, else my coming here and surprise would have been a waste. We were currently in her kitchen trying to make some cookies but I don’t even know what it was that came out of the oven. We were laughing so hard as we looked at whatever it was that we brought out of the oven. “Look at what you baked Hazel, you are such a disappointment” she wheezed out and I could not stop myself from bursting into laughter again. She was also trying to control her laughter as she pointed to the tray on the kitchen counter. ‘Me? You practically mixed everything. I was just here for moral support” I gasped. Danielle was literally THE spoiled child you see in Hollywood royalty movies. Being th

Danielle decided to see me off so we were both standing in front of her house as we waited for my car to come pick me up so I could go home. We spent time talking about so many things that we didn’t realize it had gotten so late until Justin called and said he was on his way to pick me up since it had gotten so late and Atticus was already home waiting for me. I was so shocked that I pulled my phone from my ears to take a good look at the time and sure enough it was quarter past eight. We were hurdled up in Danielle's room so we didn’t know it had gotten so dark outside. I scrambled from the bed in shock and began to curse at how I lost track of time while Danielle just sat there laughing at me as I hurriedly packed my shit and fixed my hair and face. “It was so good to see you. I promise I will find some time to come see you once my schedule is free and we can have a redo of today” She promised when we saw my car heading towards us. I gave her another hug “I hope it’s soon. I h

Atticus was waiting outside when we got home and he wasn’t alone. The whole house staff and security were present and they were all waiting. Well, some were just standing there while others were pacing dramatically. The car rolled to a stop at the entrance and Atticus walked briskly to the car and opened the door for me. I rolled my eyes at how dramatic they were being but it warmed my heart that they were worried for me. It reminded me of when Dad was alive and how he would worry over every little thing. Then, it used to make me so mad when he was always up in my business, telling me what I should or should not do but now that he wasn’t here, I missed him so much and his worries. Every night before I sleep, I would find myself thinking of the smallest things he did that I didn’t appreciate but now yearn for and it made me angry at myself for getting mad at him when all he wanted was to make sure I was fine. Now, I realized the true meaning behind the saying, you never truly ap
